A former member of the radical 1970s group the Symbionese Liberation Army says the University of Illinois has told him he'll lose his job teaching there.
James Kilgore said Tuesday that he was told earlier this month that the university will not let him teach classes after this semester. He said he was not told why, but he suspects the university was pressured by donors or people with political connections.

They probably found an even bigger America-hater to take his place....

Well, maybe Patty’s relatives have some stroke at UIC.
Probably some tick off conservative donor
What happened to the bank robbery, kidnapping, and murder charges????
Maybe that has something to do with it.
As old as he is if he does not have tenure by this time he has no publications, and very bad student evaluations. The hard, radical left are often the laziest faculty members who either don’t publish or only publish garbage but survive because they have the right ideology.
The guy has to be 60+ to have been a member of that group; maybe the university is simply enforcing a mandatory retirement age for non-productive faculty?
Who the he[[ would hire a former SLA?
More than a few institutes of "higher" learning would consider such slime to be the crown jewel of the faculties...
ya think??? you are useless, why would anybody pay you to teach anything???
How often do we hear of conservative, law-abiding professors and adjuncts being let go for their political views?
Almost never because they are never hired.
He was freely roaming the earth for 28 years between the murder and imprisonment?
At least vs Ayers/Dohrn he did time.
“”I think this decision by the university needs to be brought into light,” Kilgore said. “I think it amounts to political interference in the academic freedom of a university.”-——
Oh,now I get it. He’s concerned about ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
Idiot.
